If you use your software install GUI to install the drakwizard package then your Mandrake Control Centre will have a new 'Server' section. In there is a wizard which will set up Apache for you. You will also need to install the addon for Apache to support php. Install the apache2_mod_php package and then restart apache by using Mandrake Control Centre>System>Services and restarting the httpd service or else apache will not notice php is now available. You will then be able to open a browser and open http://localhost and see a welcome page which will list the features available. Confirm php is listed. Put your web pages in the folder /var/www/html and then you will be able to view them in your browser. Have fun derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
